The Farm Credit Administration has been recognized as one of the best small agencies to work for in the federal government. At a ceremony hosted by the Partnership for Public Service on Jan. 26, FCA Chief Operating Officer William (Bill) Hoffman accepted
the award for FCA.

Every year, the Partnership for Public Service issues its rankings for the best places to work in the federal government - the most comprehensive and authoritative rating of employee satisfaction and commitment in the federal government. This year FCA was
recognized as the third best place to work of all small agencies in the federal government.

The 2017 Best Places to Work rankings draw upon responses to annual employee surveys completed by more than 486,000 employees. The responses provide insight into how employees view their jobs and their agencies. They reveal employee satisfaction
levels for such variables as pay, agency leadership, teamwork, and support for employee work-life balance.

"FCA employees can be very proud of this achievement," said Mr. Hoffman. "It reflects the efforts of people across the agency who have worked hard to improve our workplace - to build teamwork, create a strong sense of community, and increase employee
engagement. And we will continue to look for opportunities to improve."

The listings are divided into four categories - large agencies, midsize agencies, small agencies, and agency subcomponents.
